aaaagh!
this build (9/25) still has the same problems as other nightlies have had with a page such as http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/0 ... css&page=0 . also, it just seems to me like all rendering is going slowly! everyone says fb renders really quickly, but so is there something wrong with only my copy for some reason? when i click 'next page' in a topic such as this one, the following page loads up and the light blue-green box containing all the topics slowly expands downward until all of the topics are shown.

Some benchmarks I've ran with a couple sites I have bookmarked:
http://www.numion.com/Stopwatch/start.h ... net.com%2F
FB 0.7 - 8.12 best of 5. 7.11 when hitting 'reload' best of 5.
FB 0.61 - 8.3 best of 5. 7.5 when hitting 'reload' best of 5
http://www.24fun.com/downloadcenter/ben ... nchjs.html
FB 0.7 - 15.08 - Best of 3
FB 0.61 - 14.18 - Best of 3
While it seems 0.7 got a bit more optimized in the page creation, the javascript seems to have fallen back some.
None of these are goshpal numbers, they are mearly small guidelines to see where your and your browser(s) set with each other. Things like Computer CPU, internet connection, Proxy server, etc will completely scure the results when testing across multiple systems.

Re: Works well for me but did encounter one strange thing ..
w_ready99 wrote:I noticed the file before you announced it and it is working great for me, but I did notice one thing. When I installed flash and then it restarted mozilla, it went to macromedia's homepage and my CPU usage went up very high. I changed sites and closed that tab but it still stayed around 50% (on a 2.4 gHZ CPU). I then closed Mozilla and the CPU usage stayed high and MozillaFirebird was still a process running. I ended this process and then started Firebird again and haven't had the problem since (when I close mozilla it's process ends too and no high CPU usage). It seems like it has something to do with installing flash (btw I am using flash click to view and I had installed that before flash and had restarted the browser for flash click to view, so maybe that is involved but I don't dunno).
Windows XP in case it helps.

I can confirm this issue. Have the same here with W2K/SP4. After the Flash7 installer it went bezerk with 100%cpu, after some restarts it went gone. Must be the combination or something, i haven't tested with the Flash6 installer though..

Solution: don't install Flash.
But seriously, this is a great build for me. I switched from 2003-09-11 and I'm happy to get all the bugfixes since then AND have the bugs on the trunk that were giving me problems gone...though I suppose they're actually still on the trunk.

Now someone go tell anandtech.com to stop using flash for benchmarks
If you're not using Firefox, you're not surfing the web, you're suffering it.
